You Are Your Words

/ Sheila McIntrye Good, Author

Ever wondered about the faces behind your favorite blogs? Who are they, really?

Jenny Hansen talks about this aspect of branding in her post, Helpful Hacks to Build a Strong Online Brand.

I’ve always believed words have power and the ones you share, do impact the world. You are your words. So who are you? Can you describe what makes you tick in 100 words? How about ten phrases?

Check out Jenny’s post and Kristen Lamb’s book, Rise of the Machines—Human Authors in a Digital World for tips on branding. In the meantime, here’s a glimpse into this girl from the Cow Pasture.

  1. I’m a retired nurse turned writer.
  2. I’m a wife, mother, and grandmother.
  3. I prefer hard truths over fairy tales.
  4. I’m fascinated by the dark side of my fellow humans.
  5. I’m a lupus survivor.
  6. Respect pain.
  7. Believe in lifetime friendships
  8. A night owl and a morning person.
  9. List maker and organization buff.
  10. Taking to aging kicking and screaming.

Putting into words a snippet of who I am was more difficult than I imagined; give it a try.

  1. My “about” says a lot about, Who I am. But as I read and ponder this post along with it’s comments, the word WOWSER pops into my head! What a thought provoking, scenario flashing- trigger of a mind blast of a lifetime filled with millions of pictured memories question! Happiness, Innocence, love, silliness intertwined with sadness, heartbreaks, paired with successes, celebrations, falls, fight for survival, protect myself, mommy lioness protection modes, and life path do it all again ‘cuz I refuse to give up- damn I’m tired, #winning… repeat and keep plugging along, because there is so much to be grateful for, tears, anxiety, darkness as I fight to reach for the sunshine and bask in those gloriously warm rays.
    Now that I’ve broken every proper grammar rule in the book
